|
============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration:
|
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
2011-04-15 03:45:57 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Configure now generates Makefiles that build in "silent make mode"
|
|
|
|
|
|
by default in which compile and link lines are significantly
|
|
|
|
|
|
simplified for clarity. To override this and view actual compile and
|
|
|
|
|
|
link lines during building, the --disable-silent-rules flag can be used
|
|
|
|
|
|
at configure time, or the 'make' command can be followed by V=1, to
|
|
|
|
|
|
indicate a "verbose" make. (MAM - 2011/4/14).
|
2011-02-10 05:07:29 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Added mpicc and mpif90 as the default C and Fortran compilers for Linux
|
|
|
|
|
|
systems when --enable-parallel is specified but no $CC or $FC is defined.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(AKC - 2011/2/7)
|
2010-11-18 02:07:51 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Added a new configure option, "--enable-unsupported", which can
|
|
|
|
|
|
be used to stop configure from preventing the use of unsupported
|
|
|
|
|
|
configure option combinations, such as c++ in parallel or parallel
|
|
|
|
|
|
HDF5 with threadsafe. Use at your own risk, as it may result in a
|
|
|
|
|
|
library that won't compile or run as expected!
|
|
|
|
|
|
(MAM - 2010/11/17 - Bug 2061)
|
2010-06-12 07:37:33 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- PHDF5 changed to use "mpiexec", instead of mpirun, as the default MPI
|
|
|
|
|
|
applications startup command as defined in the MPI-2 definition, section
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.1. (AKC - 2010/6/11 - Bug 1921)
|
2010-05-06 01:34:26 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Configure now adds appropriate defines for supporting large (64-bit)
|
|
|
|
|
|
files on all systems, where supported, by default, instead of only linux.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This largefile support is controllable with the --enable-largefile
|
|
|
|
|
|
configure option. This is replacing the linux-specific --enable-linux-lfs
|
|
|
|
|
|
option, which has been removed from configure.
|

|
2010-04-16 05:17:22 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Upgraded versions of autotools used to generate configuration suite.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We now use Automake 1.11.1, Autoconf 2.65, and Libtool 2.2.6b.
|
|
|
|
|
|
MAM 2010/04/15.
|
2009-11-27 02:10:28 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Added the xlc-* and mpcc_r-* BASENAME patterns to be recognized as IBM
|
|
|
|
|
|
compilers so that the ibm compiler options can be added properly. This
|
|
|
|
|
|
allows non-system-default compiler command names (e.g. xlc-m.n.k.l) be
|
|
|
|
|
|
recognized. AKC 2009/11/26.
|
[svn-r17345] Purpose:
Updating autotools
Description:
Installed new autotools and used them to reconfigure HDF5.
- Automake upgraded to 1.11
- Autoconf upgraded to 2.64
- bin/reconfigure script edited to use new versions (on jam), and
run to generate new configure script and Makefile.in's.
- configure.in script edited to add "_cv_" to all AC_CACHE_VAL strings
(in order to comply with new autoconf standard).
Tested:
Tested on machines jam, smirom, liberty, linew.
Tested w/ features c++, fortran, parallel.
Tested w/ compilers gcc, pgcc, icc.
Further testing via Daily Tests should catch any other outliers. Upon
passing DT's, I'll propogate the new tools into 1.8, hdf4, et cetera.
2009-08-13 02:55:25 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Configuration suite now uses Automake 1.11 and Autoconf 2.64.
|
|
|
|
|
|
MAM 2009/08/11.
|
2009-07-20 07:47:30 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Changed default Gnu fortran compiler from g95 to gfortran since
|
|
|
|
|
|
gfortran is more likely installed with gcc now. -AKC 2009/07/19-
|
2009-04-20 14:00:11 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Added libtool version numbers to generated c++, fortran, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
hl libraries. MAM 2009/04/19.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Regenerated Makefile.ins using Automake 1.10.2. MAM 2009/04/19.
|
2009-04-15 06:07:24 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Added a Make target of check-all-install to test the correctness of
|
|
|
|
|
|
installing via the prefix= or $DESTDIR options. AKC - 2009/04/14
|
2009-01-06 22:58:21 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Configuration suite now uses Libtool 2.2.6a. MAM 2008/10/24
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Configuration suite now uses Autoconf 2.61, Automake 1.10.1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
MAM 2008/05/05.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The new configure option "--disable-sharedlib-rpath" disables
|
|
|
|
|
|
embedding the '-Wl,-rpath' information into executables when
|
|
|
|
|
|
shared libraries are produced, and instead solely relies on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
information in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. (MAM - 2008/05/15)

|
|
--------
|
2011-07-19 05:23:02 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- I added a new parameter of object access property list to the function
|
|
|
|
|
|
H5Rdereference (Issue 2763). It's called H5Rdereference2 now. The former
|
|
|
|
|
|
H5Rdereference function has been deprecated to H5Rdereference1. (SLU -
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011/7/18)
|
2011-05-21 00:14:33 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- H5Tcreate now supports string type (fixed-length and variable-length).
|
|
|
|
|
|
(SLU - 2011/05/20)
|
2011-02-18 00:26:29 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Added ability to cache files opened through external links. Added new
|
|
|
|
|
|
public functions H5Pset_elink_file_cache_size(),
|
2011-04-14 05:03:30 +08:00
|
|
|
|
H5Pget_elink_file_cache_size(), and H5Fclear_elink_file_cache().

|
(NAF - 2011/02/17)
|
2010-11-18 07:25:56 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Removed all old code for Metraowerks compilers, bracketed by
|
|
|
|
|
|
__MWERKS__). Metraowerks compiler is long gone. (AKC - 2010/11/17)
|
2010-09-11 00:15:34 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Added support for threadsafety on windows using the windows threads
|
|
|
|
|
|
library. Use the HDF5_ENABLE_THREADSAFE option in CMake while on a
|
|
|
|
|
|
windows platform to enable this functionality. This is supported on
|
|
|
|
|
|
Windows Vista and newer Windows operating systems. (MAM - 2010/09/10)
|
2010-09-10 02:15:36 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- When a mandatory filter failed to write data chunks, the dataset
|
|
|
|
|
|
couldn't close (bug 1260). The fix releases all resources and closes
|
|
|
|
|
|
the dataset but returns a failure. (SLU - 2010/9/8)
|
2010-08-25 00:00:20 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- H5Tset_order and H5Tget_order now support all data types. A new byte
|
|
|
|
|
|
order H5T_ORDER_MIXED has been added specifically for compound datatype
|
|
|
|
|
|
and its derived type. Please see bug #1934. (SLU - 2010/8/23)
|
2010-06-16 05:21:03 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Improved performance of the chunk cache by avoiding unnecessary b-tree
|
|
|
|
|
|
lookups of chunks already in cache. (NAF - 2010/06/15)
|
2010-03-25 00:41:14 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Greatly improved performance of extending a dataset with early
|
|
|
|
|
|
allocation. (NAF - 2010/03/24 - 1637)
|
2009-11-04 00:33:30 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Added support for filtering densely stored groups. Many of the API
|
|
|
|
|
|
functions related to filters have been extended to support dense groups
|
|
|
|
|
|
as well as datasets. Pipeline messages can now be stored in a group's
|
|
|
|
|
|
object header. (NAF/QAK - 2009/10/8)
|
2009-09-29 12:43:22 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- The embedded library information is displayed by H5check_version() if a
|
|
|
|
|
|
version mismatch is detected. Also changed H5check_version() to
|
|
|
|
|
|
suppress the warning message totally if $HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK is 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
or higher. (Old behavior treated 3 or higher the same as 1, that is
|
2009-09-29 12:45:46 +08:00
|
|
|
|
print a warning and allows the program to continue. (AKC - 2009/9/28)
|
2009-09-30 00:49:34 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- If a user does not care for the extra library information insert
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the executables, he may turn it off by --disable-embedded-libinfo
|
2009-09-29 12:43:22 +08:00
|
|
|
|
during configure. (AKC - 2009/9/15)
|
2009-08-21 03:17:51 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Corrected problem where library would re-write the superblock in a file
|
|
|
|
|
|
opened for R/W access, even when no changes were made to the file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(QAK - 2009/08/20, Bz#1473)
|
2009-04-17 05:06:37 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Separated "factory" free list class from block free lists. These free
|
|
|
|
|
|
lists are dynamically created and manage blocks of a fixed size.
|
|
|
|
|
|
H5set_free_list_limits() will use the same settings specified for block
|
|
|
|
|
|
free lists for factory free lists. (NAF - 2009/04/08)
|
2009-01-30 05:02:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Added support for dense attributes to H5Ocopy. (XCao/NAF - 2009/01/29)
|
2009-01-09 02:16:31 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Added H5Pset_elink_cb and H5Pget_elink_cb functions to support a
|
|
|
|
|
|
user-defined callback function for external link traversal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(NAF - 2009/01/08)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Added H5Pset_elink_acc_flags and H5Pget_elink_acc_flags functions to
|
|
|
|
|
|
allow the user to specify the file access flags used to open the target
|
|
|
|
|
|
file of an external link. (NAF - 2009/01/08)
|
2009-01-06 22:58:21 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Added H5Pset_chunk_cache() and H5Pget_chunk_cache() functions to allow
|
2009-01-09 02:16:31 +08:00
|
|
|
|
individual rdcc configuration for each dataset. Added
|
|
|
|
|
|
H5Dget_access_plist() function to retrieve a dataset access property
|
|
|
|
|
|
list from a dataset. (NAF - 2008/11/12)
|
2009-01-06 22:58:21 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Added H5Iis_valid() function to check if an id is valid without producing
|
2009-01-09 02:16:31 +08:00
|
|
|
|
an error message. (NAF - 2008/11/5)
|
2009-01-06 22:58:21 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Added two new public routines: H5Pget_elink_fapl() and
|
|
|
|
|
|
H5Pset_elink_fapl(). (see bug #1247) (VC - 2008/10/13)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Improved free space tracking in file to be faster. (QAK - 2008/10/06)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Added 'mounted' field to H5G_info_t struct. (QAK - 2008/07/15)

Parallel Library:
|
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
[svn-r21101] HDFFV-7639
Purpose:
Remove H5_MPI_SPECIAL_COLLECTIVE_IO_WORKS and
H5_MPI_COMPLEX_DERIVED_DATATYPE_WORKS #defines from source.
Description:
Two advanced parallel functionalities, special collective IO and
complex derived datatypes, are not supported by older
implementations of mpi, and thus our code limits the use of these
features with #ifdefs and has checks in configure to set them (or
not). Unfortunately, configure can't actually run a parallel check
to see if these features are working (nor not) so it resorts to
looking in the config files where they are explicity enabled or
disabled based on versions of mpi, sytems being built on, or for
no documented reason at all (i.e. just set to on or off as some
'default'). Overriding these settings is easy if need be, provided
it is known that it needs to be done to get improved performance,
and oftentimes it is not.
Most new MPI implementations successfully handle the functionality
requested when these #defines are set, and many of the "turn these
features off" cases in the config files are for old (> 5 years)
versions of MPI and retired systems (such as NCSA's tungsten).
Therefore, the decision has been made to remove the support for
these old versions of MPI and systems that cannot handle these
behaviors. The #ifdefs and supporting setup in the config/ files
and configure script has been removed, and the code executed when
these options were not set removed from the source.
In passing, this commit also cleans up some whitespace issues in
both t_mpi.c and H5Dmpio.c. Furthermore, in t_mpi.c, the special
collective IO test was not getting regularly run due to it being
written to work only with four processes (we regularly test with
six, previously with three), and thus it failed when actually run
due to an out of bounds data buffer assignment. It has been
modified to run at any number of processes greater than four, and
the memory problem has been fixed so the test passes.
Tested:
jam, h5committest, ember
2011-07-15 04:33:21 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Special Collective IO (IO when some processes do not contribute to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
IO) and Complex Derived Datatype MPI functionalities are no longer
|
|
|
|
|
|
conditionally enabled in the library by configure. They are always
|
|
|
|
|
|
enabled in order to take advantage of performance boosts from these
|
|
|
|
|
|
behaviors. Older MPI implementations that do not allow for these
|
|
|
|
|
|
functionalities can no longer by used by HDF5. (MAM - 2011/07/08).
|
2009-04-29 14:39:10 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Modified parallel tests to run with arbitrary number of processes. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
modified tests are testphdf5 (parallel dataset access), t_chunk_alloc
|
|
|
|
|
|
(chunk allocation), and t_posix_compliant (posix compliance). The rest of
|
|
|
|
|
|
the parallel tests already use in the code the number of processes
|
|
|
|
|
|
available in the communicator. (CMC - 2009/04/28)

- h5repack: When user doesn't specify a chunk size, h5repack now defines a default
|
|
|
|
|
|
chunk size as the same size of the size of the hyperslab used to read the chunks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The size of the hyperslabs are defined as the size of each dimension or a
|
|
|
|
|
|
predefined constant, whatever is smaller. This assures that the chunk
|
|
|
|
|
|
read fits in the chunk cache. (PVN - 2008/11/21)

- h5diff: h5diff treats two INFINITY values different. Fixed by checking (value==expect)
|
|
|
|
|
|
before call ABS(...) at h5diff_array.c This will make that (INF==INF) is true
|

- The library allowed the conversion of strings between ASCII and UTF8
|
|

- CLANG compiler with the options -fcatch-undefined-behavior and -ftrapv
|
|
|
|
|
|
discovered 3 problems in tests and tools' library (Issue 7674):
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. In dsets.c, left shifting an unsigned int for 32 bits or more
|
|
|
|
|
|
caused undefined behavior.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. In dt_arith.c, the INIT_INTEGER macro definition has an overflow
|
|
|
|
|
|
when the value is negative minimal and is being subtracted one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. In tools/lib/h5tools_str.c, right shifting an int value for 32 bits
|
|
|
|
|
|
or more caused undefined behavior.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All the problems have been corrected. (SLU - 2011/9/2)
|
2011-06-22 23:47:57 +08:00

|
|
|
- In v1.6 library, there was EOA for the whole MULTI file saved in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
super block. We took it out in v1.8 library because it's meaningless
|
|
|
|
|
|
for the MULTI file. v1.8 library saves the EOA for the metadata file,
|
|
|
|
|
|
instead. But this caused some backward compatibility problem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v1.8 library couldn't open the file created with v1.6 library. We
|
|
|
|
|
|
fixed the problem by checking the EOA value to detect the file
|
|
|
|
|
|
created with v1.6 library. (SLU - 2011/6/22)

- When a dataset had filters and reading data failed, the error message

didn't say which filter isn't registered. It's fixed now.

|
|
|
|
|
|
when using the scale-offset filter with floating point data or
|
|
|

|
|
fill values. Note that such datasets will no longer be readable

- Fixed a bug that could occur when getting information for a new-style
|
|
|
|
|
|
group that was previously opened through a file handle that was
|
|
|
|
|
|
later closed. (NAF - 2010/09/15)
|
2010-09-13 23:54:55 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Added define check in H5public.h if stdint.h is supported by the C++
|
|
|
|
|
|
compiler. This define is only available on Windows with VS2010 and
|
|
|
|
|
|
using CMake to build the library. (ADB - 2010/09/13 - Bug 1938)
|
2010-09-07 23:41:55 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- H5Eset_current_stack now also closes the error stack to be set as the
|
|
|
|
|
|
default. This is to avoid a potential problem (Bug 1799).

- Fixed the bug in the filter's public CAN_APPLY function. The return
|
|
|
|
|
|
value should be htri_t not herr_t (Bug #1239). (SLU - 2010/8/5)
|
2010-07-29 06:23:11 +08:00
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
certain kinds of unaligned data unreadable or corrupt them.

|
|
|
|
- valgrind reported an error of copying data to itself when a new attribute
|
|
|
|
|
|
is written (Bug #1956). I fixed it by taking out the memcpy step in
|
|
|
|
|
|
the attribute code. (SLU - 2010/07/28)
|
2010-07-17 00:32:49 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug that could cause file corruption when using non-default
|
|
|
|
|
|
sizes of addresses and/or lengths. This bug could also cause
|
|
|
|
|
|
uncorrupted files with this property to be unreadable. This bug
|
|
|
|
|
|
was introduced in 1.8.5. (NAF - 2010/07/16 - 1951)
|
2010-05-21 05:55:55 +08:00
|

|
|
|
- Fixed some memory leaks in VL datatype conversion when strings are
|
|
|
|
|
|
used as fill values. (MAM - 2010/05/12 - BZ# 1826)

|
|
|
|
|
H5O_COPY_EXPAND_REFERENCE_FLAG flag set. (NAF - 2010/04/08 - 1815)
|
2010-03-10 02:19:42 +08:00

- Files can now be concurrently opened more than once using the core file
|
|
|
|
|
|
driver, as long as the backing store is used. (NAF - 2010/03/09)
|
2010-03-06 01:51:45 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Added support for H5O_COPY_EXPAND_EXT_LINK_FLAG to H5Ocopy. External

|
|
|
|
|
|
reopen the source file if nothing else worked. (NAF - 2010/03/05)

|
|
|
|
- H5Tdetect_class said a VL string is a string type. But when it's
|
|
|
|
|
|
in a compound type, it said it's a VL type (Bug #1584). I fixed it
|
|
|
|
|
|
to be consistent. It always return string type. (SLU - 2009/12/10)
|
2009-10-28 10:52:05 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug where writing and deleting many global heap objects (i.e.
|
|
|
|
|
|
variable length data) would render the file unreadable. Previously
|
|
|
|
|
|
created files exhibiting this problem should now be readable.

|
|
|
|
- Modified library to write cached symbol table information to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
superblock, to allow library versions 1.3.0 to 1.6.3 to read files
|
2009-04-09 06:17:48 +08:00

|
|
created by this version. (NAF - 2009/04/08 - 1423)
|
2009-04-09 01:02:09 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Changed skip lists to use a deterministic algorithm. The library should
|
|
|
|

array datatype. (NAF - 2009/03/23)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Modified library to be able to open files with corrupt root group symbol
|
|
|
|

2009-03-05 21:48:54 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Removed the long_long #define and replaced all instances with
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
changed the return value of H5Fget_obj_ids from HERR_T to SSIZE_T and
|
|
|
|
|
|
the type of the parameter MAX_OBJS from INT to SIZE_T. (SLU - 2008/09/26)

|
|
|
|
- Fixed problem where library could cause a segmentation fault when
|
|
|
|
|
|
an invalid location ID was given to H5Giterate(). (QAK - 2008/08/19)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Fixed improper shutdown when objects have reference count > 1. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
library now tracks reference count due to the application separately
|
2009-01-14 23:30:51 +08:00
|
|
|
|
from that due to internal library routines. (NAF - 2008/08/19)

2009-01-14 23:30:51 +08:00
|
|
|
|
multiple handles for the child. (NAF - 2008/08/07)
|
2009-01-06 22:58:21 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Fixed an issue where mount points were inaccessible when using multiple
|
|
|
|
|
|
file handles for the parent. The mount table is now in the shared
|
|
|
|
|
|
file structure (the parent pointer is still in the top structure).
|
|
|
|
|
|
(NAF - 2008/08/07)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- when an attribute was opened twice and data was written with one of the handles,
|
|
|
|
|
|
the file didn't have the data. It happened because each handle had its own
|
|
|
|
|
|
object structure, and the empty one overwrote the data with fill value. This is
|
|
|
|
|
|
fixed by making some attribute information like the data be shared in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
attribute structure. SLU - 2008/07/22
|
|
|
|
|

(QAK - 2008/07/15)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a Windows-specific issue in the ohdr test which was causing users
|
|
|
|
|
|
in some timezones to get false errors. This a deficiency in the Windows
|
|
|
|
|
|
mktime() function, and has been handled properly. SJW - 2008/06/19
|
|
|

- Fixed the problem with the searching of target file for H5Lcreate_external().
|
2011-08-15 21:30:30 +08:00
|
|
|
|
The searching pattern will depend on whether the target file's
|
|
|
|
|
|
pathname is an absolute or a relative path. Please see the description
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the RM for H5Lcreate_external(). (VC - 2008/04/08)

|
|
|
|
|
|
descriptions for compound datatypes whose size was between
|
|
|
|
|
|
256 & 511 bytes and the file was opened with the "use the

[svn-r20475] Purpose:
- Revise shared Fortran library disabling scenarios in configure
- Improve configure output summary
Description:
Shared Fortran libraries are not supported on Mac, but were being
disabled by configure in a way that also forced the C libraries
to be static-only. This has been fixed, so now only shared Fortran
is disabled while shared C can remain.
This prompted two additional changes:
1. While working on the check that addresses whether or not
shared Fortran libraries are allowed, removed old and no
longer needed check(s) that disable shared Fortran
libraries with HP, Intel 8, PGI, and Absoft compilers.
(Essentially, Mac is the only situation in which Fortran
shared are disabled by configure.)
2. Having two different states of libraries (i.e. shared C
library with static-only Fortran library) was not apparent
in the configure summary, which labeled all libraries as
either shared and/or static. I've added lines to both the
C++ and Fortran output sections to list shared/static-ness
of these libraries specifically.
Additionally, I've made sure that the new --enable-unsupported
configure option correctly overrides configure if it tries to
disable a shared library.
Tested:

|
- Shared C libraries are no longer disabled on Mac when Fortran
|
|
|
|
|
|
is enabled. Shared Fortran libraries are still not supported on Mac,
|
|
|
|
|
|
so configure will disable them by default, but this is overridable
|
|
|
|
|
|
with the new --enable-unsupported configure option. The configure
|
|
|
|
|
|
summary has been updated to reflect the fact that the shared-ness of
|
|
|
|
|
|
the C++/Fortran wrapper libraries may not align with the C library.

[svn-r17616] Purpose:
CFLAGS overhaul
Description:
Modified the way configure handles CFLAGS.
(note: all changes also apply to FCFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and LDFLAGS).
1. The configure process will now always preserve a user's CFLAGS
environment variable setup. Any additional flags necessary for compilation
added at configure time will be passed into the Makefiles as AM_CFLAGS,
which is an automake construct to be used in addition to CFLAGS.
This will allow a user to have the final say, as CFLAGS will always appear
later in the compile line than AM_CFLAGS. Additionally, setting CFLAGS
during make will no longer completely erase all flags set by configure,
since they're maintained in AM_CFLAGS.
2. Additionally, where possible, flags previously being assigned directly
into CFLAGS (and thus propagating into h5cc) have now been redirected into
H5_CFLAGS, so they're used ONLY for compiling hdf5, and not embedded into
the h5cc wrapper script as well.
*Note that H5_CFLAGS ultimately is assigned into AM_CFLAGS for use in the
Makefiles. Complete description of changes and build process will be
included in a Configure Document that Elena and I are working on.
3. Removed unsupported config files. This includes:
config/dec-osf*
config/hpux11.00
config/irix5.x
config/powerpc-ibm-aix4.x
config/rs6000-ibm-aix5.x
config/unicos*
4. Modified configure summary to display additional values. Specifically,
appropriate AM_* variables are being shown, as well as H5_FCFLAGS and
H5_CXXFLAGS, which were for some reason not already present.
Tested:
- H5committest
- Tested on all THG / NCSA machines, using several combinations of the more
prominent configure options (c++, fortran, szip, threadsafe, parallel,
et cetera). (Thanks to Quincey for rysnc testing setup!)
- With regards to new automated testing, anything *necessary* for
compilation will be caught by the daily tests as it stands now. (i.e.,
if LDFLAGS is not properly set when szip is used, linking will fail).
Additionally, with regards to which flags get into h5cc, if any
*necessary* flags have been improperly removed, then daily tests should
fail during make installcheck. Additional machine-specific desired
behaviors and/or checks may have to be set up separately within the
daily tests, so this is something to work on.
2009-10-08 23:17:30 +08:00
|
|
|
|
- Removed the following config files, as we no longer support them:
|

config/dec-osf*, config/hpux11.00, config/irix5.x,
|
|

MAM - 2009/10/08
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Modified configure and make process to properly preserve user's CFLAGS
|
|
|
|
|
|
(and company) environment variables. Build will now properly use
|
|
|
|
|
|
automake's AM_CFLAGS for any compiler flags set by the configure
|
|
|
|
|
|
process. Configure will no longer modify CFLAGS directly, nor will
|
|
|
|
|
|
setting CFLAGS during make completely replace what configure has set up.

[svn-r19892] Purpose:
Bug 2089 - GMQS: h5diff segfault on a compound dataset with fixed length +
vlen string type order
Description:
This is fix for the segfault when h5diff compares a compound dataset with
combination of fixed length string types and vlen string types in certain
orders. Optimized vlariable length string handling codes. The fix is
referred from h5dump handling vlen strings.
For testing, several compound datasets were added with various combinations.
Previous failed cases:
- Vlen string, Fixed length string, Vlen string, Fixed length string
- Fixed length string, Fixed length string, Vlen string, Vlen string
- Fixed length string, Vlen string, Fixed length string, Vlen string
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), amani (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE)

- Improve h5diff performance. 1) use HDmemcmp() before comparing each
|
|
|
|
|
|
elements. 2) replace expensive H5Tequals() calls 3) retrieve datatype
|
|
|
|
|
|
information at dataset level not each element level for compound
|
|
|
|
|
|
datasets

|
|
|
|
and make the output make sense. bug#1979 (JKM 2010/11/09)

AbstractDs. In addition, the data member IdComponent::id was

|
|
|
|
H5File, Group, and PropList. (BMR - 2008/08/10)

Known Problems

|
|
|
|
|
==============
|
2011-03-11 03:11:02 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* --with-mpe configure option does not work with Mpich2. AKC - 2011/03/10)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-01-19 23:51:20 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* While working on the 1.8.6 release of HDF5, a bug was discovered that can
|
|
|
|
|
|
occur when reading from a dataset in parallel shortly after it has been
|
|
|
|
|
|
written to collectively. The issue was exposed by a new test in the parallel
|
|
|
|
|
|
HDF5 test suite, but had existed before that. We believe the problem lies with
|
|
|
|
|
|
certain MPI implementations and/or filesystems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have provided a pure MPI test program, as well as a standalone HDF5
|
|
|
|
|
|
program, that can be used to determine if this is an issue on your system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
They should be run across multiple nodes with a varying number of processes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
These programs can be found at:

2009-11-04 12:32:18 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Parallel mode in AIX will fail some of the testcheck_version.sh tests where
|
|
|
|
|
|
it treats "exit(134) the same as if process 0 had received an abort signal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is fixed and will be available in the next release. AKC - 2009/11/3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-08-12 04:13:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* The PathScale MPI implementation, accessing a Panasas file system, would
|
|
|
|
|
|
cause H5Fcreate() with H5F_ACC_EXCL to fail even when the file is not
|
|
|
|
|
|
existing. This is due to the MPI_File_open() call failing if the amode has
|
|
|
|
|
|
the MPI_MODE_EXCL bit set. (See bug 1468 for details.) AKC - 2009/8/11
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-04-29 14:39:10 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Parallel tests failed with 16 processes with data inconsistency at testphdf5
|
|
|
|
|
|
/ dataset_readAll. Parallel tests also failed with 32 and 64 processes with
|
|
|
|
|
|
collective abort of all ranks at t_posix_compliant / allwrite_allread_blocks
|
|
|
|
|
|
with MPI IO. (CMC - 2009/04/28)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-01-06 22:58:21 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* For SNL, spirit/liberty/thunderbird: The serial tests pass but parallel
|
|
|
|
|
|
tests failed with MPI-IO file locking message. AKC - 2007/6/25.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* On Intel 64 Linux cluster (RH 4, Linux 2.6.9) with Intel 10.0 compilers use
|
|
|
|
|
|
-mp -O1 compilation flags to build the libraries. Higher level of optimization
|
|
|
|
|
|
causes failures in several HDF5 library tests.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* For HPUX 11.23 many tools tests failed for 64-bit version when linked to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
shared libraries (tested for 1.8.0-beta2)
|
|
|
|
|
|
* For SNL, Red Storm: only paralle HDF5 is supported. The serial tests pass
|
|
|
|
|
|
and the parallel tests also pass with lots of non-fatal error messages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* on SUN 5.10 C++ test fails in the "Testing Shared Datatypes with Attributes" test
|
|
|
|
|
|
* configuring with --enable-debug=all produces compiler errors on most
|
|
|
|
|
|
platforms. Users who want to run HDF5 in debug mode should use
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-debug rather than --enable-debug=all to enable debugging
|
|
|
|
|
|
information on most modules.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* On Mac OS 10.4, test/dt_arith.c has some errors in conversion from long
|
|
|
|
|
|
double to (unsigned) long long and from (unsigned)long long to long double.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* On Altix SGI with Intel 9.0 testmeta.c would not compile with -O3
|
|
|
|
|
|
optimization flag.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* On VAX, Scaleoffset filter isn't supported. The filter cannot be applied to
|
|
|
|
|
|
HDF5 data generated on VAX. Scaleoffset filter only supports IEEE standard
|
|
|
|
|
|
for floating-point data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* On Cray X1, a lone colon on the command line of h5dump --xml (as in
|
|
|
|
|
|
the testh5dumpxml.sh script) is misinterpereted by the operating system
|
|
|
|
|
|
and causes an error.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* On mpich 1.2.5 and 1.2.6, we found that if more than two processes
|
|
|
|
|
|
contribute no IO and the application asks to do IO with collective, we found
|
|
|
|
|
|
that when using 4 processors, a simple collective write will be hung
|
|
|
|
|
|
sometimes. This can be verified with t_mpi test under testpar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The dataset created or rewritten with the v1.6.3 library or after can't
|
|
|
|
|
|
be read with the v1.6.2 library or before when Fletcher32 EDC(filter) is
|
|
|
|
|
|
enabled. There was a bug in the calculating code of the Fletcher32
|
|
|
|
|
|
checksum in the library before v1.6.3. The checksum value wasn't consistent
|
|
|
|
|
|
between big-endian and little-endian systems. This bug was fixed in
|
|
|
|
|
|
Release 1.6.3. However, after fixing the bug, the checksum value is no
|
|
|
|
|
|
longer the same as before on little-endian system. The library release
|
|
|
|
|
|
after 1.6.4 can still read the dataset created or rewritten with the library
|
|
|
|
|
|
of v1.6.2 or before. SLU - 2005/6/30
|
|
|
|
|
|
* For the version 6(6.02 and 6.04) of Portland Group compiler on AMD Opteron
|
|
|
|
|
|
processor, there's a bug in the compiler for optimization(-O2). The library
|
|
|
|
|
|
failed in several tests but all related to multi driver. The problem has
|
|
|
|
|
|
been reported to the vendor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* On IBM AIX systems, parallel HDF5 mode will fail some tests with error
|
|
|
|
|
|
messages like "INFO: 0031-XXX ...". This is from the command poe.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set the environment variable MP_INFOLEVEL to 0 to minimize the messages
|
|
|
|
|
|
and run the tests again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tests may fail with messages like "The socket name is already
|
|
|
|
|
|
in use". HDF5 does not use sockets (except for stream-VFD). This is
|
|
|
|
|
|
due to problems of the poe command trying to set up the debug socket.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check if there are many old /tmp/s.pedb.* staying around. These are
|
|
|
|
|
|
sockets used by the poe command and left behind due to failed commands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ask your system administrator to clean them out. Lastly, request IBM
|
|
|
|
|
|
to provide a mean to run poe without the debug socket.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The C++ library's tests fails when compiling with PGI C++ compiler. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
workaround until the problem is correctly handled is to use the
|
|
|
|
|
|
flag "--instantiate=local" prior to the configure and build steps, as:
|
|
|
|
|
|
setenv CXX "pgCC --instantiate=local" for pgCC 5.02 and higher
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The stream-vfd test uses ip port 10007 for testing. If another
|
|
|
|
|
|
application is already using that port address, the test will hang
|
|
|
|
|
|
indefinitely and has to be terminated by the kill command. To try the
|
|
|
|
|
|
test again, change the port address in test/stream_test.c to one not
|
|
|
|
|
|
being used in the host.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-11-04 22:39:45 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* The --enable-static-exec configure flag will only statically link libraries
|
|
|
|
|
|
if the static version of that library is present. If only the shared version
|
|
|
|
|
|
of a library exists (i.e., most system libraries on Solaris, AIX, and Mac,
|
|
|
|
|
|
for example, only have shared versions), the flag should still result in a
|
|
|
|
|
|
successful compilation, but note that the installed executables will not be
|
|
|
|
|
|
fully static. Thus, the only guarantee on these systems is that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
executable is statically linked with just the HDF5 library.
|
2009-01-06 22:58:21 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* With the gcc 2.95.2 compiler, HDF 5 uses the `-ansi' flag during
|
|
|
|
|
|
compilation. The ANSI version of the compiler complains about not being
|
|
|
|
|
|
able to handle the `long long' datatype with the warning:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
warning: ANSI C does not support `long long'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This warning is innocuous and can be safely ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Certain platforms give false negatives when testing h5ls:
|
|
|
|

- Cray J90 and Cray T90IEEE give errors during testing when displaying
|
|
|
|
|
|
some floating-point values. These are benign differences due to
|
|
|
|
|
|
the different precision in the values displayed and h5ls appears to
|
|
|
|
|
|
be dumping floating-point numbers correctly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Not all platforms behave correctly with szip's shared libraries. Szip is
|
|
|
|
|
|
disabled in these cases, and a message is relayed at configure time. Static
|
|
|
|
|
|
libraries should be working on all systems that support szip, and should be
|
|
|
|
|
|
used when shared libraries are unavailable. There is also a configure error
|
|
|
|
|
|
on Altix machines that incorrectly reports when a version of szip without
|
|
|
|
|
|
an encoder is being used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* On some platforms that use Intel and Absoft compilers to build HDF5 fortran library,
|
|
|
|
|
|
compilation may fail for fortranlib_test.f90, fflush1.f90 and fflush2.f90
|
|
|
|
|
|
complaining about exit subroutine. Comment out the line
|
|
|
|
|
|
IF (total_error .ne. 0) CALL exit (total_error)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Information about building with PGI and Intel compilers is available in
|
|
|
|
|
|
INSTALL file sections 5.7 and 5.8
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* On at least one system, (SDSC DataStar), the scheduler (in this case
|
|
|
|
|
|
LoadLeveler) sends job status updates to standard error when you run
|
|
|
|
|
|
any executable that was compiled with the parallel compilers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This causes problems when running "make check" on parallel builds, as
|
|
|
|
|
|
many of the tool tests function by saving the output from test runs,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and comparing it to an exemplar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The best solution is to reconfigure the target system so it no longer
|
|
|
|
|
|
inserts the extra text. However, this may not be practical.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In such cases, one solution is to "setenv HDF5_Make_Ignore yes" prior to
|
|
|
|
|
|
the configure and build. This will cause "make check" to continue after
|
|
|
|
|
|
detecting errors in the tool tests. However, in the case of SDSC DataStar,
|
|
|
|
|
|
it also leaves you with some 150 "failed" tests to examine by hand.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A second solution is to write a script to run serial tests and filter
|
|
|
|
|
|
out the text added by the scheduler. A sample script used on SDSC
|
|
|
|
|
|
DataStar is given below, but you will probably have to customize it
|
|
|
|
|
|
for your installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Observe that the basic idea is to insert the script as the first item
|
|
|
|
|
|
on the command line which executes the the test. The script then
|
|
|
|
|
|
executes the test and filters out the offending text before passing
|
|
|
|
|
|
it on.

You get the HDF make files and test scipts to execute your filter script
|
|
|
|
|
|
by setting the environment variable "RUNSERIAL" to the full path of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
script prior to running configure for parallel builds. Remember to
|
|
|
|
|
|
"unsetenv RUNSERIAL" before running configure for a serial build.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the RUNSERIAL environment variable exists so that we can
|
|
|
|
|
|
can prefix serial runs as necessary on the target system. On DataStar,
|
|
|
|
|
|
no prefix is necessary. However on an MPICH system, the prefix might
|
2004-09-15 02:52:05 +08:00
|
|
|
|
have to be set to something like "/usr/local/mpi/bin/mpirun -np 1" to
|
|
|
|
|
|
get the serial tests to run at all.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In such cases, you will have to include the regular prefix in your
|
|
|
|
|
|
filter script.
